There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

This bill isn’t a clean CR—it’s as dirty as it gets.
Local projects? Cut. Veterans' healthcare? Cut. Social Security & Medicare? On the chopping block.
All while Trump’s tariffs make everything more expensive and Republicans hide from their constituents.

We've spent the last 10 years watching the media call lying, "a difference of opinion".
We've spent the last 10 years watching the media sane wash Trump and let him call the media fake news while barely pushing back.
The average American is stupid, and yes, they think everyone is corrupt.

Eh. SOME Christians feel persecuted because it’s a core part of the internal mythos to be persecuted, and a subset will feel theologically compelled to manufacture an appropriate narrative when reality fails to comply.
No. Christians feel persecuted because there is a vast media apparatus telling them that they are persecuted. There is no evidence whatsoever of large-scale discrimination against Christians in this country.
Interesting story that gets to the heart of why many Christians feel persecuted in the U.S.: The secular elite find many of their views abhorrent and uncouth

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.
That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
